Meet The New Kids From Fear the Walking Dead Season 5

Last week AMC dropped fresh new images from Fear the Walking Dead’s upcoming fifth season. We caught glimpses of Alicia, Strand, Luciana, Sarah, Wendall, John, June, and even Dwight, but we ALSO got a sneak peek at some new characters. Although we can’t reveal much about their backgrounds, we can get you acquainted with the actors. Let’s dive in!

Bailey Gavulic as “Annie”

Bailey Gavulic is a 21-year-old actress known for her roles in “Prodigal,” “At The End Of The Day,” and “No Place In This World.” Gavulic, who attended The University of South Florida and previously worked as an acting coach, will play a survivor (younger than herself) named Annie, who our heroes meet in Season 5. Bailey announced the news of her casting on Instagram:

Cooper Dodson as “Dylan”

Cooper Dodson is a 13-year-old actor from Denton, Texas who has appeared on FX’s “American Horror Story,” AMC’s “Preacher,” and the 2017 thriller “The Wrong Mother.” Not only has Cooper appeared on AMC before, but his brother Major Dodson played Jessie’s son Sam in The Walking Dead Season 6! (Hopefully Dylan fairs better than Sam). Like the other actors, Cooper shared his exciting casting news on Instagram:
